Mark might also want to try mtr rather than traceroute. It can display MPLS labels (press "u" in the curses interface or use "-e" on the command line)
i usually use the --curses mode but the --report mode is more like traditional traceroute (and IMO more readable)
Thanks, that's interesting and useful to know. I hadn't looked at it earlier. The manual page warns that it generates a lot of network traffic; I hope it isn't enough traffic to cause network providers any concerns. In my test, it sent 10 packets by default to each host along the path, i.e., with a suitably adjusted TTL. I wouldn't expect anyone to be worried about the additional load on their infrastructure that results from that level of traffic.
